Foundational knowledge of physics (mechanics, aerodynamics basics)
Familiarity with programming concepts (Python or C++ preferred)
Basic understanding of control systems or robotics is helpful but not required
Outcomes
Build and assemble complete drone systems including frames, motors, ESCs, and flight controllers
Design propulsion systems and battery configurations optimized for specific mission profiles
Configure and calibrate flight controllers using PX4 and ArduPilot firmware for stable flight operations
Implement sensor integration including GPS, IMU, LiDAR, and cameras for navigation and environmental awareness
Develop autonomous flight capabilities using ROS 2 and companion computer architectures
Simulate drone flight dynamics and test autonomous behaviors in Gazebo simulation environments
Analyse drone performance using MATLAB for system modeling, control tuning, and mission planning
Test, troubleshoot, and maintain drone systems for reliable field deployment and operations
Projects You Will Build
Practical, enterprise-grade projects that reflect real industry challenges
Precision Agriculture Drone
Design and build a drone system for precision agriculture that monitors crop health using multispectral sensors and GPS-based waypoint navigation. Integrate sensor payloads, configure autonomous flight paths in PX4/ArduPilot, and process collected data to generate actionable crop health maps. Optimize propulsion and battery configuration for extended field coverage.
Search and Rescue Autonomous Drone
Develop an autonomous drone for search and rescue operations integrating thermal imaging, computer vision, and obstacle avoidance using ROS 2. Implement autonomous navigation algorithms and sensor fusion to locate and track targets in GPS-denied and challenging environments. Validate the system through simulated missions in Gazebo before field testing.
Urban Delivery Drone Prototype
Prototype a drone-based delivery system for urban environments, addressing payload capacity, flight endurance, and safe autonomous landing. Leverage PX4 flight control, sensor fusion with LiDAR and cameras, and path planning algorithms for reliable last-mile delivery. Model and analyze system performance in MATLAB to optimize design parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the course
You should have a basic understanding of electronics, physics (especially mechanics), and some familiarity with programming in Python or C++. Prior robotics or control systems experience is helpful but not strictly required, as the course covers drone-specific fundamentals from the ground up.
The curriculum covers drone system assembly (frames, motors, ESCs, flight controllers), propulsion and battery design, flight controller configuration with PX4 and ArduPilot, sensor integration (GPS, IMU, LiDAR, cameras), autonomous navigation using ROS 2, simulation in Gazebo, performance analysis in MATLAB, and field testing and troubleshooting.
This is an intensive 4-week micro-degree, so you should expect to dedicate approximately 15-20 hours per week. This includes expert-led sessions, hands-on project work, simulation exercises, and self-study to complete all modules and projects.
You will complete three industry-relevant projects: a precision agriculture drone, a search and rescue autonomous drone, and an urban delivery drone prototype. These projects involve assembling hardware, configuring flight firmware, integrating sensors, programming autonomous behaviors in ROS 2, and testing in the Gazebo simulator.
Completing this program prepares you for roles such as Drone Engineer, UAV Designer, Autonomous Systems Developer, Robotics Engineer, and Aerospace/Avionics Engineer. The hands-on projects serve as portfolio pieces, and the skills in PX4, ROS 2, and drone system design are in high demand across agriculture, logistics, defense, and emergency response industries.
You will work with PX4 Autopilot and ArduPilot for flight control, ROS 2 for autonomous systems development, Gazebo Simulator for virtual flight testing, and MATLAB for system modeling and performance analysis. These are industry-standard tools widely used in professional drone engineering.
The Micro Degree course is an online LIVE course, where LIVE sessions will be conducted online on our Classroom platform. Prior to the start of the course, you'll receive preparatory material in the form of recorded content which can be access on the same platform.
In this course instructors will use English language for teaching.
Upon successful registration, you will receive a confirmation email on your registered email ID. In this email you will receive login details for your newly created account on the Edyoda Classroom platform (https://classroom.edyoda.com). Additionally, you will receive a PDF guide containing step-by-step instructions on how to utilize the platform to access live sessions and learning materials.
